BANGKOK, March 24 (TNA) – China has delivered medical
supplies including test kits, protective garments and face masks to Thailand to
support the fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnveerakul and Chinese

Yang said China had sent 10,000 N-95
face masks, 100,000 face masks, 834

The donation was a goodwill gesture of the Chinese people
